PROPOSED BALANCE-OF-POWER COMBISATION.
Mr.. f. A. Redstone, who signs himself "Chair-
man National Executive Committee of the Indus
trial Reform Party" has issued circular, copies
OF which have been distributed among Con-
greSSlnen In the city. The circular says:
''It takes 1863 votes to elect a Speaker whether
cast for one or several candidates. and any five
democrats, with the four independents, can and
0mgns 10 aietate tGe speaker sne rules the con-
balance-Of-pOwer party they can split the two
old national b0nd-cOntracting and bOnd-contin-
uing political parties wide open, or force them 70
coalesce with each other In order to prevent the
immediate redemption at par of the outstanding
national bonds under the act Of March g. 1881.
The true policy for the four Independents and the
154 republicans is to nominate their candidate for
Speaker Of the House and then not vote, In order
ff possible to break quorum, and to enable any
nve balance-Of-pOwer democrats to name their
choice, define the money, telegraph and cduca-
tiOnal policy OF their man, and to then appeal to
the independents and republicans to elect him to
be the Speaker OF the House, SO that our country
may enter upon broad and enlightened policy OF
national progress"

Foul Murder at Rabun Gap.

William Echols, a young white man liv-
ing at Cornelia, one of the best known
young men in the neighborhood of Rabun
Gap, was foully murdered Sunday by per-
sons unknown. Early in the evening Echols
went to Mt. Airy to take supper with
his brother, who lives at that place. He
left his brothers house at about s o'clock
and started on his homeward Journey.
Early Monday morning some people travel
ing along the road between those two places,
came across evidences of a struggle and a
lot of blood. Tracks led from the spot off
from the road, and following these
horrible sight met the gaze of
the members of the party. There,
half concealed in some underbrush, lay the
body of EchOls. His face was mashed be-
yond all recognition, and for distance of
thirty yards along the trail which they had
followed were seen portions of the dead
mans brains. People living in the vicinity
remembered having heard pistol shots that
night, but as no cries were heard they did
not deem an investigation necessary. If
Echols was shot it must have been in the
head, as no traces of any bullets could be
found His head was beaten to a Jelly, and
all traces of pistol wounds had been oblit-
Grated The Coroner viewed the body and
rendered 81 verdict in accordance with these
facts. There is no clue to the perpetrator or
perpetrators of this foul murder. Echols
was a fine young man, popular with his ac-
quaintanceS, and great Indignation is felt
over his murder

MURDERoUs STRIKERS.
Workmen Dynamited and Then She
At bY Coke Strikers.

PITTsBURG, PA, May 3l.-About 2:3O
O'Clock this morning an attempt was made
to blow up the shaft building of the Pitts
burg and Cleveland Cas- Coal and Coke
Company at Davidson station on the South
west Pennsylvania railroad, about three
quarters of a mile north of Connellsville
The bomb, made of one and half inch gas
pipe, filed with dynamite and plugged with
an oak plug, was placed under the
building and fired. 1t was not
placed far enough under the
building to accomplish the object sought.
No serious damage was done. The pumper,
one fireman and the Waterman were in the
building at the time, and when the explo-
sion occurred they ran out and were fired
upon by the dynamiters. There were three
and possibly four men in the party, but
none were recognized. After firing about a
dozen shots at the men who We're in the
building they ran toward Connellsville. The
dynamiters are supposed TO be strikers and
to belong about Connellsville. There can be
no reason assigned for the act except pure
deviltry, as there was no work being done
and no attempt to work except pumping
water out of the mines.
